Daniel

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The property was near many shops, restaurants and attractions in Traverse City. It is an older 2 story motel that has been remodeled with very good HVAC systems. The rooms are spacious with bathrooms that feature oversized shower stalls. However our room mattresses were in need of replacement. Free breakfast was included, but somewhat lacking in food offerings.

Our room was very clean and accessible. The front lobby/breakfast area was charming and cozy. Breakfast was adequate but minimal. Lots of granola bars. The location was convenient and easy to get to. My only complaint was that the gal at the front desk seemed a bit grumpy, but maybe she was just tired.

We arrived to check in and there was no one at the desk. After 10 minutes, a clerk showed up from outside of the building. The stairs to the second floor were steep with higher steps than normal. A bit harder for seniors like us. The room looked clean. The bed wasn’t comfortable. Luckily we were just there for one night.
